Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch |
Subject: Subject: Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius
ludovicianus)
Place: Maricopa, AZ, USA
Date: April 2002
Equipment: Nikon N90S, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E (= 600/5.6),
car window
Film: Fujichrome Sensia 100
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered, natural light, no fill
flash
Scan: Minolta Dimage, 75% of frame
Commentary: I can never see or photograph enough shrikes. This
one was taken in neighborhood of the Burrowing
Owl photos. The barbed wire perch seems appropriate to a bird
that impales prey on thorns and other sharp objects; it also makes a
suitable place to look for prey in an otherwise flat agricultural
area.
